"The Garden of the Virgin, with its unspoilt natural environment and the unceasing spiritual struggle of its monks-anchorites, has through the ages inspired writers and artists, laymen and clerics. They expressed themselves in words and music, with the brush and the chisel. They immortalised images, persons, sounds and landscapes, not of course to please the eye and ear, but above all to inspire the soul to kneel before the throne of its Creator". Photography by Chariton of Lavra. Text in Greek and English. Locale: Athos; Garden of the Virgin; Greece; Monastery of Vatopaedi; Mount Athos.
